Timeless Faith

​

The question is not if we have faith, everyone has faith. The atheist has faith his rational reasoning has removed the possibility of God. He has faith in his intellectual ability. Others have faith in their abilities, skills, connections, friends, family and themselves. Everyone has faith. The question is where is your face anchored?

 

Sooner or later the storms of life will begin to blow and then the question becomes will the anchor of faith hold.

 

Peter gives us three reasons that it is important to Anchor our faith in Christ.

 

First, faith in Christ is imperishable.

 

How can that be? Well look where faith in Christ is kept, in Heaven. Jesus says that we are to put up treasures in Heaven where moth and rust cannot destroy or the thief steal. Matthew 6 :19 through 21 says lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

 

If our faith is set upon the things of this world, then our faith will perish. Countless kingdoms have come and fallen, economies have been built and destroyed, and nations have been established and vanished. All that is left is some of those kingdoms are the ruins you can see in the museum. Only the kingdom of God has remained constant in the past 2000 years. Our faith is to be set in Heaven, and not on the things of this world. That is the only way that we know our faith is imperishable.

 

Secondly, our faith will be uncorrupted.

 

You have no doubt heard the phrase; absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is a statement which indicates our sinful nature. History is full of leaders Who start off with the best intentions, but pride, ego, or other flaws got in the way. If we place our faith in a leader, it is but a matter of time before the corruptible nature of the individual is revealed.

 

But Christ has no sin, and our faith is in the power of God. God has absolute power, but it is uncorrupted. There is no Pride or ego in the power of Christ. In the scope of eternity, Jesus is the only person who has absolute power, but not only that, he is also the only person for whom absolute power has not corrupted, even a little bit. Our faith can only be in correctable, when it is placed in Christ.

Thirdly our faith in Christ is unfading.

 

I know lots of people who are fat. They jump on the latest Trend or idea, and about 6 months or a year down the road, they jump on something new. Do you need a great example? Pull out your yearbooks. Look at the hairstyles, the clothes you wore, and the tone of the culture. How much have things changed in the last 20 or 30 years?

 

Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

 

The faith we have now will see us through the last days!

 

I love each and every one of you and keep you in my prayers always. Remember to make Jesus the Lord of your life right now by saying those five precious words "JESUS PLEASE SAVE ME NOW!"

 

Thank you, Jesus, for our friends our family and our Lewis County ABATE sisters and brothers.

 

And a special precious thank you Jesus for America's 250 years of freedom!

Help us use the free will you have given us to choose you !
